- Combine oil, onion, salt, pepper, tomatoes, cayenne, sugar, paprika and garlic pwdr in heavy pot and simmer 25 to 30 min over medium heat.
- Mix flour and water in small bowl; add in to onion mix gradually, stirring till smooth and thick. Add in cheese, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Cook till well-blended and smooth. Serve hot with tortilla chips.
- Note: Some readers omit the oil because they think the cheese has sufficient fat. If so, saute/fry the onion in 2 Tbsp. warm oil to soften. This longtime Houston favorite from Felix Mexican Restaurant has been reprinted in the Houston Junior Forum cookbook, Buffet on the Bayou ($17.95), but the sugar is omitted and paprika increased to 3 Tbsp..

- LP's note: This is most everyone's favorite chili con queso. My friend Cyn says it's the flour. Most recipes do not call for it. Her's is a bit different from this - more like the Buffet on the Bayou version. She claims to have gotten it from Felix's in Beaumont. According to her, it freezes well.
